Why the study?
The strength of known coronary heart disease risk factors varies in different populations, necessitating assessment in Indonesian adults aged 25 years and over.

What are the determinants of coronary heart disease in Indonesian adults aged 25 years and over?
Odds Ratio: 2.32 (95% CI 1.01–5.35)
p-value: p=0.047
Higher education was identified as a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease in this Indonesian adult cohort.
Sudikno et al. (2023) conducted a case-control in Coronary heart disease (n=592). Higher education vs. Low education was evaluated on Coronary heart disease (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.01-5.35, p=0.047). Higher education was identified as a significant predictor of coronary heart disease, associated with a 2.32-fold increased odds compared to low education.
